Firefox 13.0.1 and script error and crash

FF keeps crashing - script errors on pretty much every site. Reset FF and it does no good. Add ons disabled, all extensions updated. This just started happening within the past few days. No viruses. HELP!!!!!!!!!

''Can this be forwarded to the Mozilla bug team, or some other technical support?''
Hi tuatha, you can file a new bug, but I don't think there is enough information to relate your problem to a specific cause. As you can imagine, most people are not tormented by script errors. We're trying to track it down to something about your system or your customization of Firefox.
Could you try creating a blank new Firefox settings folder (AKA a Firefox profile)? In addition to bypassing current add-ons and custom settings, it should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Close Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by entering the following in the Search box on the Start menu and pressing Enter:
 firefox.exe -p
Your currently active profile is selected. Don't delete anything, just create a new profile and start Firefox in that new profile. Any time you want to switch profiles, close Firefox and return to this dialog. More information on the Profile Manager: [[Managing profiles]].
Do the errors persist in the new profile?

Firefox crashes upon start with the error message: Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

When I send the report and try to restart firefox and see that I have several tabs open, but it quickly shuts down again before I can do anything other then glance at it.

Firefox worked before, but now, when i try to start it, i get and error "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed". I tried to reinstall it, to reboot, nothing helps.

Hi,
Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.

Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox:

Installed Firefox on Windows 7, etting error "Firefox had a problem and crashed...couldn't find crash reporter's settings.

Still having a problem with Firefox going to "restart a session" even after re-installing Firefox. Keeps giving me "script error" when closing down. How do I fix this?

As stated previously...I have removed and re-installed Firefox, but am still getting "script error" when shutting it down and going to "restore session" when opening. Please advise what to do about this problem. Thank you.

Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I was having the same problem.... But I keep forgetting that when you upgrade firefox... or it updates automatically... you need to right click on the firefox start up icon, go into properties, click on the compatibilities tab, and put a check in the "Run This Program As An Administrator" box, then hit apply. Start Firefox, and it should work OK. Problem is...each time you upgrade firefox and/or I think Adobe flash... you need to make sure that box is checked. This is on Firefox 15.0.1 with Adobe Flash 11.4.402.278 all up to date, Windows 7 64bit. If Firefox has Adobe flash add-on, it needs to run in admin mode or it will crash.

A Mozilla crash reporter appears. And says Firefox had a problem and crashed. What do I do?

When I click on firefox I get a java script error that says "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined", what does that mean?

Whenever I click on firefox, or when a pop-up occurs, I get a java script error that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined". I don't know why. It first occurred while I was on ESPN while trying to watch college games live.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Installing firefox brings up internet explorer script error

I've clearly installed some kind of malware, etc... Now, I'm trying to install firefox completely new and right upon startup, directly after asking if I want to run the install I get a popup "Internet Explorer Script Error"
An error has occurred in the script on the page.
Line: 3
Char: 4412
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://d1w1h2aw6b6mz2.cloudfront.net/?v=7&aff=A004
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
If I click no another of the same window will show up with different text. If I click yes, then the installation window has a a blinking textbox that I was seeing in firefox before I uninstalled it, "You may be the 1,000,000 visitor". The installation window itself reads about ConstaSurf program.

And... after Firefox gets installed, before you run it, try creating a clean profile that won't be affected by your earlier settings file and extensions.
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (i.e., skip the button that lets you change the folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Cleaner?? If so, we can point you to articles on restoring your last bookmark backup to the new profile, and moving over any other critical data.
Or you can try to clean your old profile, which might be less work in the end.
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

When opening Firefox I get a Java Scripts error message and Firefox will not always open

When opening Firefox browser I get an error message from JavaScript Application: "TypeError:components{cid} is undefined. Sometimes the Firefox browser will not open; sometimes it does. Very annoying!!
Richard

This can be caused by an add-on that says it is compatible with Firefox 4 but isn't quite compatible. This thread has more information: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/729606 Javascript pop errors stating: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Does that help?

Firefox stops responding showing unresponsive script error at tabbrowser.xml line 2255

When firefox is started it gives error regarding unresponsive script at
chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:2255 since last few days.
Earlier it was working fine
It just shows firefox quick launch lightened up and then fades down and after lots of time screen shows asking for firefox proxy setting. Later on after much trial and error entering proxy settings no window is displayed and firefox. Since I am not able to open firefox, even closing is required to be done by killing process through windows troubleshooting information. Will try if possible later

i have this prolem too, any ideas?
